Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Well unless you're fighting on a huge bit of terrain it you could always zoom in/out & pan around the battlemap.
While we're dreaming, they could create a character sheet client for the iPod Touch and iPhone that holds each individual character's info & powers that they could select and use, like how Scrabble for the iPad can use 'em to hold your letter tiles.
services I recommend: tonx coffee *highly recommended* | everlane | dropbox
maybe I'm opening old wounds here
but whatever happened to Unified?
like last I heard pony had a crapload of real issues pop up that kept him from throwing a lot of time away on some forum thing and that's okay but I'd have figured that some enterprising fellow or coalition of fellows would have picked up the torch
I just keep seeing the link still in DarkPrimus' sig and thinking "Dang, that'd be cool"
i could never get the mechanics to work right, and that was sort of critical. Additionally, putting together a collection of all the lore and shit proved to be too large a project for me.
thematically, Unified was a giant mess. i pulled inspiration and reference material from all over the place and sorta shotgunned them together and it was a giant incoherent mess
i've put Unified behind me, i consider it a mistake that i learned a bit from, but still ultimately a mistake
Jenny Roakes was a second year grad student at MIT. Not really the brightest girl on campus, but apparently it isn't rocket science to get into MIT's department of animal science, especially when your focus is applied swine nutrition. Ever since starting college, she felt a little uneasy about how poor and unhip she was in comparison to her peers, and she tried to make up for it by being willing to do all the bitch work nobody else wanted to do.
That's probably why she agreed to work an unpaid internship at Prairie State Semen Inc. After all, pig semen was basically where the money was anyway, and maybe she could get some networking connections for after college.
Unfortunately, her compensating behavior could lead her into some less than safe situations. That's how she became a minor martyr in the animal rights movement. She was the only member of the staff short enough, flat chested enough, and possibly stupid enough to crawl into the pen of the heaviest pig ever produced by the farm when it managed to get one of its feet caught (more like forced) through a poop slat. When the pig panicked, it's hypermuscular body managed to break all four of it's legs, coming down on Jenny and suffocating her to death in a matter of minutes.
girls say that to me a lot
nor does the death associated with your character
think: horror movie protagonist
that is an appropriate use of the term
Did that stand for anything?
Every Plane In Chaos
Essentially Pyrotechnics Immolate Characters
Eventually Pony Is Cheering
it stood for the four types of Attributes/Challenges in the game
ie the four things it was actually used for
Expertise, Prowess, Influence, and Combat (which was renamed "Conflict" in the revision I did a while back)
i actually did a new version of EPIC a while ago, i just never posted it because nobody cared the first time i posted EPIC and since i don't have any plans to run anything with it besides my The Alternates campaign which i may or may not do in the future, it probably won't get posted any time soon either
it's never been playtested, so i dunno!

According to Webster's, suffocate as an intransitive verb means "to kill by asphyxiation."
It's used as a transitive verb more broadly.
I'm no English major, but I think it's an intransitive in the above phrase.
terrendos shut up
seriously
what the fuck are you doing
Obviously the first time you posted EPIC the forum crit failed their appreciating awesome stuff check
It was a very flexible system (by which I mean you could do pretty much fucking anything with it) and I remember putting together a bunch of builds just to try it out
Dammit, forum
i basically learned a lot from other systems and incorporated other ideas, changed how the dice operated, etc.
it's pretty good now, i came up with a whole campaign setting to test it with and all, i just don't feel like running it right now so i am doing Hunter instead
Maybe by then I'll be around to make a character and participate
After one particularly long night of drinking with the local crowd Adrian drove himself home and passed out in his bed. He didn’t wake up the next morning, having died from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty heating unit.

I've never used myth-weavers before.. hopefully I linked it properly there.
[Character Sheet]
Luckily for Esmeraldrey, she actually had the talent to back up a lot of those dreams, even if she was, well, not the brightest cookie in the cake box. She moved to Hollywood proper when she turned 18, and spent the next three years playing low-pay bit parts in sitcoms, police procedurals, and made-for-TV science fiction movies. Her last movie, however, was something special - a "bold" new director on the indie circuit had contacted her, and cast her as the lead in what was, remarkably, actually a pretty decent movie. It could've been something really grand, if Esmeraldrey hadn't die a three fourths of the way through filming. Nothing special, just a car accident a few blocks away from the set. She'd gone to get lunch and ended up being carted away to the morgue.
The director decided to go to press anyway, and completed the film as best he could. It became a bit of a cult smash, and Esmeraldrey's death was widely hailed as a "terrible tragedy", and she was dubbed a "rising star, gone too soon".
Lisa Grantham was a college drop out who worked in a childs clothing store at a mall a few towns down from hers, did some baby sitting when she got the chance. She spent most of her free time going to bars, playing Karaoke, and being a hipster socialite. She learned how not to text and drive the hard way.
only thing off about that that I can think of, is the "working at a mall a few towns away" bit.

well I live in the south
this is pretty common
I don't know many people with sub 50 mile commutes who work retail. It's kind of a minor detail.
fair enough
